Reviewer: Joe Czerwinski — Interim End of March 201829 Mar 2018
Drink 2017–2030
The stunning 2015 Red Queen of the Eden Valley Shiraz combines awesome complexity with ample weight, power and concentration. From Shiraz vines planted in 1912, this wine includes a hefty 40% whole bunches, was naturally fermented and aged two and a half years in 50% new French oak. The resulting wine is medium to full-bodied, with ripe but firm tannins that frame intense blueberry and boysenberry fruit. Hints of oaky spice and cracked pepper plus floral and herbal notes all come together on the finish, making for a dizzying array of flavors that seem to almost grow in intensity over time.
